THE FAILURE OF COMMUNISM IN THE WORLD AND IN INDIA

Image
First published on Feb 12, 2024 The British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, US President Harry Truman and the Russian leader Joseph Stalin at the Postdam conference in 1945. Communists are hoisting red flags in India for about a century. During these long years they could not touch more than three states. Brief explanation of Communism can be like this: 'Communism is a political and economic ideology that positions itself in opposition to liberal democracy and capitalism, advocating instead for a classless system in which  the means of production are owned communally and private property is non-existent or severely curtailed.' The above Communist principles are not at all adhered to by Indian Communists. Whenever they get an opportunity to rule any of the three state here they conduct the ruling as is where is basis just get contented with the rewards in whatever form it may be. Karl Marx has brought in Communism to fight against, rather to use as an effective too...

ARE WOMEN SAFE IN KERALA?

Image
This was first published on 02.12.2022 Women are not safe in God's Own Country! The reports appeared in our news media every day suggest so. Is this happening out of a fearless attitude of our men or from a state of extreme lawlessness or due to some abnormal biological constitution of some people? Whatever it may be, we must immediately find an answer to this and correct. Stringent punishment should be the first option. The next option would be psychiatric treatment for habitual offenders. The next is the preventive measures. In this category the best would be including this subject in the school syllabus from class 4 to 12. Atleast the coming generations can expect safety. The rulers of the states as well as the country should give due attention to this matter and action to be taken on top most priority. I would also like to stress the fact that the entire society including the parents, the teachers, the religious leaders, the police establishment, the political syste...

LINCOLN AND KENNEDY A COMPARISON AND THE HIDDEN DIVINE MATHMATICS

Image
If we closely look at many things that take place around us we can find that many things or, may be everything happens in the world are in a given order. Whether it is the journey of our earth around the sun at such accuracy or falling of the leaves from the trees or the annual human death rate around the world, we may be able to find some super intelligence behind all these actions. Over and above these while comparing the life of two people of different times, we may be able to find some amazing resemblances. Each human ever born on this earth, right from the date and time and location of birth, name, parents, siblings, children, profession, friends etc etc are not our choice but are done under some commands or some law. The resemblance in various aspects of lives of two eminent personalities lived in USA in different times are analysed below. They are former American Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. Let us now look at the similarities. 1. Both ...

STRANGE BUT TRUE

Image
These   may look strange but are truth. A snail can sleep for three years. A crocodile cannot stick it's tongue out. Butterflies taste with their feet. Elephants are the only animal that can't jump. The electric chair was invented by a dentist. Rats multiply so quickly, that in 18 months, two rats could have over million descendants Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times. The cigarette lighter was invented before the match. Most lipstick contains fish scales. Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different.

CAN WE BELIEVE THAT OUR LIVES ARE PREDETERMINED?

Image
Religions teach that everything in the world is created by God. Science too suggests nearly same thing.  There is always a purpose behind every creation. And that purpose is decided by the creator himself. There are countless number of creations in this world. Each form of creation must be having its own purpose according to its own shape and other qualities. Each group of creation is, therefore, unique in its purpose, may be with minute difference. Let us concentrate on man. Man is governed by three sets of guidelines. Those are Religious or Divine guidelines, built-in Natural guidelines and Scientific guidelines. Religious or Divine guidelines are believed to have prescribed by the Supreme One. In the Bible, Jesus says that man cannot do anything without Him.  "For without me, you are able to do nothing.".(John 15:5) That must be a law of creation. Man has made such amount of equipments in this world. None other than those made for automatic functions works by i...

WHERE WE HAVE COME FROM? WHERE WE WILL GO BACK? WHAT FOR WE HAVE COME HERE?

Image
Most of us travel a lot. Many of us travel extensively on assignments. When we are sent somewhere on assignments, some informations are inevitably held by us. Those are, where we have come from, what is our task there, how long we are to remain there and where we have to go from there. These are the essential information in every journey. Contrary to this and surprisingly, we don't hold any such information in our journey to this world. More than 750 cores people are now living in this world. Many fold of this came and returned from here. None of them know this basic information. Does this mean that  those who have sent us here do not want to reveal these informations to us, for reason best known to Him. Therefore, until now, no one who came to this world never knew that where they have come from, what for they have come here, how long they have to be here or where they have to go back from here .

GHOST IN THE BAR AND SHIVERING WITNESSES

Image
Blue  House Pub in Sunderland Hendon, London is a 167 years old Bar in England. Abnormal visitors are coming here for quite sometime. Recently the owner of the bar Darla Anderson, the service boys and the customers present there had a shivering surprise. A machine is installed there for filling beer in the glass. When asked by the customer, the service boy pick the glass, place in the filling spot and put the switch on and fill the glass. Contrary to this, a few days back, when a customer asked for beer, the glass moved self to the filling point and got the beer fillled without anyone's help. Similar incident took place 20 years back when the present owner's aunty was running the pub. A few days back a spiritualist came to the bar and said that he felt the presence of a spirit there. The former owner also says that he too had such experience a few times. In his time the glasses were moving by itself and falling down to the floor and broken. In the absence of any cct...

SHALL WE FIND HUMAN BEINGS IN PLANETS OUTER SPACE?

Image
Man is on the look out for our fellow beings in other planets for quite sometime. NASA has special programmes towards this direction. MIT astronomer Sara Seager putting all available resources to find another earth somewhere. Space telescope is looking for the availability of oxygen and water vapour in siblings of our earth. MIT physics professor Sara Seager is trying to find some possible chemical combination that can signal alien life. NASA is trying to develop new telescope technology. Altogether, if everything goes well, by 2030 - 2040 our anxiety may lead to some answer. Scientific community believe that there are more intelligent life beings and more advanced civilizations can be found elsewhere. If we ask an average American about extraterrestrial life beings the answer will be a big 'yes' . Such is their expectations! However our imagination is confined to life forms what we have seen on earth. That may or may not come true. Because we cannot imagine or targ...

TIME IS LIKE GOD!

Image
Time is the continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, and into the future. It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the concious experience. Time is often referred to as a fourth dimension, along with three spatial dimensions. Time is something that we cannot see, hear or imagine. Time remains unbound and totally spread as one everywhere. It has no beginning and no end. Science explains the Big Bang theory like,  " ... at the beginning of time, the tiny particle exploded ..." This must be a wrong conception to give a beginning for time. Time cannot be lengthened or curtailed. It will not be brightened or vanished. Even no dent can be done on time. With all these unique qualities time is like God except havi...

OPEN JAIL FOR HABITUAL CRIMINALS

Image
(Main entrance of Folsom State Prison, CA, USA) Image courtesy, Dreamstime. According to a report by National Crime Record Bureau of 2021 Kochi ranked 3rd in populationwise crime reported in 19 cities of India. This comes to 1603.7 crimes per one lakh population. The data released shows that 33,697 IPC and SLL (not serious crimes) crimes were reported in Kochi in 2021. Why crime rate is so high in a Kerala City? The prime cause may be widespread availability of narcotics here. Peace loving citizens may point their fingers towards the government, the police, various political parties and the media. What is media to do with crimes? Media is expected to report any crime with in depth details. Here some media do not give the personal details of the criminal. Protecting the identity of the criminals encourages them to commit more crimes. If he is an active participant of a political party, media do not expose these details at all. Let us take crime as crime only, whether it is c...

MY DEAR FELLOW INDIANS, YOU CAN START A LARGE INTERNATIONAL TRADING FIRM WITH NO INVESTMENT

Image
This  is a practically possible business proposal with a near zero investment to start with. This is proposed exclusively for Indians. The details are given below. The nature of business is international trade. Initially goods can be sent to other countries and goods can be bought from other countries to India or to any other countries. To start with you may focus on USA, Canada, UK, Australia and the Gulf countries where the number of Indians are many. You may get in touch with Indians in these countries with fairly good academic qualifications. Those who are willing to associate with this should have adequate time to devote for this. After having the necessary discussion in between all of you, you may plan to execute the same in a large way with a wide scope of trade with many countries. Your communication can be per WhatsApp or through any other selected social media. If the initial discussion is successful you may establish an International trading firm any of your ...

MANY PROBLEMS - ONE SOLUTION

Image
Unemployed people in India may be around 12 crores. Regarding underemployment, since no accurate figures could be gathered, this too coul be estimated around 6 to 8 crores. Over and above these, about 65 lakh graduates including 15 lakhs engineers, are passed out every year in different parts of the country. This is the problem, the only problem, our country face now. In order to get over this, I would like to suggest the following for the consideration of all central and state ministers of the country. Henceforth you all may stop attending all political and religious meetings. In place of these non-productive meetings, you may conduct meetings, seminars, conferences etc to find ways and means to resolve unemployment in our country. If you could find answer to this one problem it will answer to all our problems. K V George 

WALKING BAREFOOT HAVE GOOD LOT OF GAINS

Image
We may find that people lived in sometime in 1960/1950 and before had comparatively less ill health than people who lived later. There may be something to compare with the people of today. They were eating natural food items grown and cooked by themselves. Today we eat a good amount of contaminated packed food. The vegetables and fruits of those days were very clean, but what we get today is with high quantity of dangerous insecticides used fruits and vegetables. A very harmful quantity of destructive chemicals are used by us from food alone. Fish, chicken, egg etc are also said to be harmful to health. Over and above all these there are polluted air and water to damage our health. May be due to lack of intimacy with our mother earth we are not able to push out the negative energy in us. And this must be the answer to the better health conditions of the people of the pre sixty period.  The significant difference between the people of the pre 1960 period and those of tod...

If we want the upliftment of the people and the development of our country we may take a practical approach to our so called problems and go ahead for an easy solution. We do not need a large amount of money for this but only a strong will is needed. The following are the decisions we must take under the existing conditions to take up our beloved India to a higher level. 1. Ensure food for all our people. 2. Ensure water for all. 3. Ensure clean air for all. 4. Ensure house for every family. 5. Ensure medical treatment for every      sick one. 6. Education must be compulsory and      free up to class 12. 7.

NANGELI AND THE BREAST TAX IN KERALA

Image
    Image courtesy to Amazon.in Breast tax (Mulakkaram) must be the most abnormal tax levied anywhere in the world. It was introduced by the erstwhile state of Travancore under the British rule in India. This tax was imposed on the women of lower caste, Nadars and Ezhavas between the age of 16 and 35. They were not allowed to cover their breasts and if anyone do otherwise were punished by heavy taxes. There was Channar revolt between 1839 and 1859 that prompted earlier against this tax seeking right for their women to cover their body at will but it went on for long until  it was withdrawn in 1924. The most remembered person in breast tax revolt was Nangeli who lived in Cherthala in the princely state of Travancore during the early 19th century. She was said to have cut off her breasts in protest against the breast tax. However the story of Nangeli was never reflected in historical books of Kerala and therefore, remained in the minds of the people like a ficti...

WHAT IS CLAIRVOYANCE

Image
Clairvoyance is believed to be a faculty for perceiving things of future beyond our sensory contacts. A clairvoyant is always acting as a medium in all clairvoyance sessions. A clairvoyant is a person considered to have abnormal ability to perceive things of future beyond sensory contacts. In a clairvoyance session, the clairvoyant with the ability of extra sensory perception gain information about person, object, location, events etc. Science do not support clairvoyance as any form of science but consider it as self delusion, wishful thinking, hallucinations etc. However, during cold war time USA and Russia were believed to have used Remote Sensing or Extra Sensory Perception to gather information about remote geographical location. In Indian Yoga system this is said to be 'Divya Dhrishti' (Divine eyes) While looking into the facts behind Clairvoyance we must also consider that credibility of psychic claims are weakened by proven psychic fraud over the ...

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARECTOR FORMATION OF OUR CHILDREN?

Image
Of late we are finding news of qualified youth working as narcotics carriers. Young school children are used by political workers for distribution of narcotics. There are reports of sales of narcotics products from beauty parlours. Such reports goes on and on. They all do it for fast money with little effort. They know they are doing a crime. They also know that the future of countless number of people are spoiled by their passion for these illegitimate earning. Still they do it for their unquenching thirst for money. Who is responsible for these unforgivable activities of our youth? The prime responsibility falls on the parents. A child's growth is expected to be closely watched by the parents. Significant contribution is expected from the parents towards the formation of charector of the children. The physical and mental growth of their offspring are to be strictly governed by the parents. In the case of any deviation, corrective measures are to be taken at the approp...

IT IS WE WHO DICTATE OUR OWN JUDGEMENT

Image
We  dictate our own judgement may not be acceptable straight away to many. However, directly or indirectly  this term is ratified by many religious contents. Before moving further, it is to be made known to all that whatever we say about nature or God, law of universe or religious codes cannot be seen as an unchallengeable expression but as a mere assumption or hypothesis. A theoretical expression on this matter may never come up. Despite knowing this fact we are unwilling to accept a shapeless and colourless One settled under no confinement. We are so adament to design the Supreme One to our choice, place Him within four walls, feed him with what we like, ask Him to do what we pray and so draft our worship. Each one of us knowing well the depth of our serious errors, pray the One to forgive us for all the wrongs we committed. Simultaneously we point out the wrongs of others and highlight the wealth and comfort he enjoys. By doing so we point out the Supreme Judge ...

HEALTHIEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

Image
        (Japanese Village houses) With average life expectancy of 84.2 years Japan is the healthiest country in the world, followed by Switzerland 83.8, Spain 83.5, Italy 83.4, Israel and Iceland 82.9. The secret of the health of the Japanese must be their traditional diet, which consists of rice, fish, vegetables, seaweed, Japanese pickles, green tea and miso (a kind of fermented soyabeen product). Unlike many Western diets, this diet has a very low intake of red meat. Usually red meat is linked with health issues such as  heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Japanese culture too contribute significantly for their well being. They have changed into slow movement in the 90s. This helps people to stay connected with others and with nature. The inhabitants at the southern island of Japan have less cancer, heart disease and dementia than Americans. The women here have the longest life on earth. Their strong dedication to family and friends also contribut...

MAN CREATED MANY GODS

Image
GOD is the most incomprehensible subject for man ever. Unfortunately man thinks that he knows all about God. If we meticulously try to find the scientific datas of our own universe it takes 42.5 billion light years to reach the boarder from the centre. And further to this the universe is expanding at the speed of light. There are, according to scientific findings, countless number of universes. Can these be contained in human minds? Then, is it within imagination of human minds? Yet, many people around us proclaim the names of the wives, father-in-laws, brother-in-laws of the Almighty  Creator of all these universes and everything in those! Oh man, how great you are! While the fundamental criterion attributedto the Supreme One are love and justice humanly created Gods carry anger, vengeance and hatred use against their creations. Some men also draw them towards their political alliances. Even some of them are vested with deadly arms.  When we wish to dedicate ourse...

OUR JOURNEY WITH MOTHER EARTH

Image
.             The Milky Way galaxy  Many of us travel a good distance every day. Some about 100 km and some other much above it. The actual journey we make is not in hundreds or thousands but in millions of kilometres. For example, when we go to sleep at 10.00 pm we are at a place. When we wake up at 6.00 am next day we are at a different place. That is, during the sleep of 8 hrs we traveled a distance of 24,293,360 kilometres. It is not an imaginary figure but a scientifically approved fact. We may go through the following scientific data. Earth rotates on its axis at a speed of 1670 km/hr. The circumference of earth being 40,075 we all travel this distance or something less depending upon our location on the earth. The earth orbit round the sun at a speed of 107,000 km/hr. In 365 days our mother earth travels a distance of 940 million km  Then comes the solar system consisting of the sun, planets, moons, dwarf planets, asteroids...

INDIA AND JAPAN, A COMPARISON

Image
India  and Japan have a long relationship. During the 6th century itself Indian culture had filtered into Japan through Buddhism. In the modern era, after the world war, India and Japan had entered into a peace treaty in 1952. The current population of Japan is 126 million which makes 1.6% of the world population. The present population of India is 1.39 billion which constitute 27.7% of world population.Over 28 thousand Indians are now living in Japan. Most of them are in Kobe. The land area of India is more than 9 times that of Japan. However the per capita land holding of Japan is little more than India. While India rank 195th in the world in per capita land holding, Japan ranks 190th. In rain fall Japan ranks 46th while India is 83rd. Japan receive 54% more rains than India. India has 23% more agricultural growth than Japan While India is 53rd in world agricultural ranking Japan holds 154th rank. India has 160 million hectares arable land, Japan's holding is 4.36 mil...

SHALL WE EVER HAVE PEACE?

Image
Before answering the question, 'shall we ever have peace?', we must know what is peace. The outcome of our efforts yield us contentment. When we are fully contented with our efforts we become happy. When this happiness mount we become peaceful. Peace is a state of mind that most of us have not enjoyed. We do not get peace because we are always pushed away from acquiring it by our fellow men and the materials around. We are normally more concerned about unearned things than those earned by us. We set our targets to things that are away from us. We keep endeavouring to acquire those. In most cases we do not get contented with these efforts and get despaired. In fact when we have more things we get less peace and when we have less things we have more peace. Finally when we have nothing we become peaceful. This must be the reason that we do not have peace. Above all peace is the one that we can carry from this world when we return. Peace is the one that we can buy too. ...

Estimated  religious growth in the world during the period 2010-2050 as per the findings of Pew Research Center, USA,  gives an insight to researchers of growth of religions the world over. The important findings are: * The number of Muslims will equal the number of Christians around the world. *The Hindu and Jewish population will become larger while the Buddhist population remain the same  * India will retain a Hindu majority while the Muslims will become the largest of any country in the world, surpassing Indonesia. * In USA Christians will decline from more than three quarters of the population of 2010 to two thirds in 2050. *Muslims will be more numerous in US than people who identify as Jewish on the basis of religion. * Four out of every 10 Christians in the world will live in Sub-Saharan Africa.

OUR POSSESSIONS ON EARTH

Image
Many of us possess land, building, pool, trees etc on this earth. All these are unequivocally belong to us. We hold sufficient documents to confirm these belongings. All those around accept and admit our ownership. Here comes a question whether these ownership rights and claims are real or imaginary. The simple answer is none of these belong to any of us. The sole owner of all these including the 'You and I' bodies too are owned, nurtured, managed, converted and reconverted by Mother Earth. All have come from her, fed by her and shall return to her. The Mother is taking the help and protection of other great bodies of this universe. Nothing on this earth belongs to man. Each one of us may ask himself as to what is the most precious possession for him for the time being. It is neither land, building, metal, automobiles nor any such things we imagine are our valuable possession. Our most valuable possession for the time being is nothing but the air in our lungs. If it...

WE ARE MERE VISITORS TO THIS WORLD KNOWING NOTHING!

Image
We  all have come to this world as mere visitors from somewhere. We do not know where we have come from and where we have to go back. Most of us do something here. Some of us cultivate various food items and distribute among others. Some teach what to do and what not. Some make dresses and some houses.  Some give commands to others. Some try to heal the sick. Some travel across the world. While some try to adjourn the happiness and peace of others some others pray the imaginary Supreme One for happiness and peace of others. There are a good lot of those who do not do anything physically for others but keep telling what they may do for others during the coming days; but such days may never come. And it goes on and on! There are many who make some people who make some scribblings on the paper and hand over some other paper pieces to others and then proclaim that some surface area of the earth belongs to them. After sometime such ones disappear and leave a motionless ...

ONE OF THE GREATEST ROBBERIES

Image
              Diamond jewelry      One  of the biggest robberies in history took place on the night of February 14-15,.2003 in Antwerp, Belgium. Diamond, gold, silver and other jewelry worth over $100 million was stolen. The stolen materials were stored in a vault two floors below the main floor of the building. The location was protected with all modern safety mechanism like seismic sensor, Doppler radar, a magnetic field, infra-red heat detectors and a multi combination locking system. Above all the  building was heavily guarded by private security force. The theft was conducted by a five-men team led by a skilled social manipulator who had rented a well furnished office in the diamond district for $700 a month. He visited the diamond house frequently and secretly installed camera in the vault area.  From time to time  he continued the visit and made all possible tampering with the security system a...

REMISSION OF SINS IN CHRISTIANITY

Image
"And now God found that earth was full of men's iniquities, and that the whole frame of their thought was set continually on evil; and he repented of having made men on the earth at all." (Genesis 6:5-6) God repented for men's iniquities and for having made men on the earth. God the Father being the Supreme Judge took the responsibility of the iniquities of man on Himself and repented for those. And that repentance of God ended at Golgotha in the form of sacrifice of Jesus Christ. That is the only remission of sins for human as shown by Jesus Christ. The forgiveness of sins is well explained in Matthew 26:28. "Drink, all of you, of this, for this is my blood, of the new testament, shed for many, to the remission of sins." Jesus Christ says here with absolute clarity. Jesus says: 'In contrast to the old testament, wherein you were offering your blood or blood of other life beings, for the forgiveness of your sins, which had not accepted by God...

IS THIS LITERACY WE ARE BOASTING ABOUT?

Image
In  India, we have our own standards to measure literacy. States are vying with each  other to reach on top in paper. Since long the state of Kerala is on top with about 96.2% literacy followed by Delhi (88.7%), Uttarakhand (87.6%), Himachal Pradesh (86.6%), Assam (85.9%) and Maharashtra (84.8%) on top of the list. . The parameter for literacy now is, one should know to read and write ones own name. To start with it is good, but this standard should not remain for ever. This is  LKG standard. We must review this every two years and raise this to the next level. In our case it is UKG. Next levels should be Class I, II, III and so on. We must have a minimum target of Plus II. If we can progressively achieve this, the next generation can call themselves literates.  South Korea with 97.9% in 2024 is the most literate country in the world. In 2022, 70% of the population of South Korea between the age of 25 and 34 reached graduation level. In Indi...

WHAT IS THE SO CALLED LUCK?

Image
Luck  is said to be a force that causes things to happen to a person by chance. Luck refers good things only and it has nothing to do with man's efforts and abilities. Professor of psychology Jacqueline D. Woolley says that luck can be defined in three ways; a) a supernatural event, b) an explanation to make sense of certain events, c) a personal attribute one has within himself. If we straight away put a question whether luck is a reality, imagination or superstition the maximum support may be available for reality. May be each one among us have something to say about luck. One purchased some ayurvedic medical compound from a shop for a family member whow was sick. That one went home and took out the things from the paper it was wrapped in. It was a piece of newspaper of a recent issue. The person found a job advertisement in the paper and applied for it and subsequently that one was selected for the job. Here we may find a series of combination of luck. The family mem...

IS THERE ANY ETERNAL HELL FOR MAN?

Image
           Imaginary version of hell "And fire from God descended from heaven, and devoured them. And the devil who seduced them, cast into the pool of fire and sulphur, where both the beast  and the false prophets shall be tortured, day and night, for ever and ever. " (Rev 20:9 & 10) We are not certain about the author of the Book of Revelation. It is believed to have written in 96 CE in Asia minor by an Ephesus called John the Elder. It is also traditionally attributed to an unknown John of Patmos. Whoever may be the author, the conceptual explanation given in the book about the hell which is meant for an eternal or timeless punishment have been deep rooted in the Christian faith. A never ending punishment said to be given to human soul who committed an error while living in the world cannot be digested by a man of today. We all believe that God is full of love and compassion. The immortal One who lives in present, past and future sim...

Unfortunately our follow up action and corrective measures are below par. When female constitute half of the population of the country it becomes the predominant responsibility of the government to ensure the safety of the citizens. Whether it is central or state governments, their efficacy is not appreciable, in this matter. When we look for the prime reasons for this state of affairs, two things can be found on top. One is the wide spread corruption in our country. Criminals here have a feeling that if they have money in their hands, they can commit any crime and get scot free. The other reason is our haphazard educational system. We are still following a job oriented educational system. We do not focus on correcting the serious social issues through education.

If we can produce high quality goods in a fast pace and offer at a low price, there may be enough takers and that will remove our poverty. We can also stand among the rich in the world. K V George
